Hi Friends!

I originally shared this post almost 5 years ago. I was on vacation and my friend Lauren, a fellow Columbus RD (we actually did our Dietetic Internship together at Ohio State), took over for the day.. She shared this Fruit Pizza with Oatmeal Flax Crust and this week I decided to give it a little upgrade and reintroduce it to you guys because it’s the perfect, kid-friendly breakfast or snack…especially for summer with all the fresh fruit available!

 

What I love about this recipe is that it’s so easy to customize. I tested Lauren’s original recipe using unsweetened pea milk (instead of vanilla almond milk, adding pumpkin seeds for some extra protein and leaving out the coconut. I found that the crust wasn’t quite sweet enough for my liking. So, I made a few tweaks and Squish loved it! I added a couple of dates for some natural sweetness and added fiber. If you make it with vanilla flavored milk and include the coconut, you could probably leave out the dates, but I like the addition. I also adjusted the recipe to make two personal pizzas at a time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 dates, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 c pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1–2 tsp ground cinnamon

  3. Add oats, flax, cinnamon (and coconut if using) and process until well combined and chopped.
  4. Add milk and vanilla and process until a ball starts to form.
  5. The dough will be sticky and wet. Scoop out with a spoon, divide in half and use a small piece of parchment paper to press each half of the dough into a circle of your desired thickness. You can also wet your fingers and spread it that way so it doesn’t stick as much.
  6. Bake for 8 minutes, then let crust cool for a few minutes.
  7. Spread with your choice of peanut butter or yogurt and top with fruit and chocolate chips

Notes

Here’s the original recipe: 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk, 1 Tbsp shredded coconut, ground flax, 1-2 tsp cinnamon.

  1. Oh wow this looks amazing! So colorful and pretty. I wonder if it would work with chia instead of flax. I’m allergic to the flaxseeds.

  2. That pizza looks beautiful! I’m always attracted to meals with lots of colour. 🙂
    And yes, Lauren should definitely start a blog! 😛 I’m now about to raid her Instagram page!

  3. When those two words- pizza and fruit come together, you know it’s gonna be good. This looks like such a healthy, delicious and fresh summer recipe. I will definitely be trying it. If Lauren had a blog, I would follow it for sure 😉

  9. HEY LAUREN!! Greattttt recipe. Your photos are always fantastic. I need lessons. Do you have a white box or something?? They always look flawless (or maybe it’s because your food is always that good!).

    • Hi Gina!! Thank you SO much! I have a great (white) windowsill in my apartment that provides really good natural light – which gives my pics a little added help! 🙂 Hope all is well with you!

  28. This looks delicious! How many servings is this recipe intended to make? Does one batch of this recipe = one fruit pizza = a serving for one person?

    Reply

    • Hi Melissa! The recipe is intended to yield one fruit pizza. When I make it, my fiance and I split it. It also depends on how thin you make the crust. I usually spread it out so it is more in the thin side to yield a bigger pizza. Hope this helps some! 🙂

  34. Hi! I was interested to make this today, but the recipe does not seem to state how much this makes — how many servings is 1 recipe? I suggest this type of info should be included in all recipes you post 🙂 Thanks.

  36. I made this for a memorial day weekend cookout. Didn’t realize how small it yielded, although tastes super yummy. I blended a banana into peanut butter.

  37. Yum! I made this recipe this morning and it was enough for both me and my husband. I didn’t have dates or pepitas so I used a few raisins and a handful of cashews – tasted good but I want to make your exact recipe sometime to compare.
